1 The fool hath
said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have
done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up
my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation
of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is
his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when
the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. |
